Milestone today - 10 Million Views Not sure which photo, so I will choose this one as it is the lead image at the time the ticker went over the mark. Thanks to everyone for stopping by!
This is a milestone of my Flickr journey. I reached at 200th submission of an endless journey. In each journey of life we start to look at the milestone after certain time either to know how far to go or how far we came! This one is to remind me how much I have accomplished so far and also signifying that much more to go to reach the top.
Photograph was taken on the way to Leh on Manali to Leh Highway.
This one was my 200th submission in NGYS too. But due to technical reason this one not acceptable in "NGYS alumni" Group!
Thank you all who supported my journey.

Today the Federal Republic of Germany is bidding farewell to our long-time Chancellor Angela Merkel with all due honor. She set a milestone because she was the first woman to hold this position in Germany. I think she did a good job of treating all the heads of state in the world with great diplomacy. Respect and thanks for 16 years of her life in which she served our country and is now going into well-deserved retirement!

Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland verabschiedet heute in allen Ehren unsere langjährige Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Sie hat einen Meilenstein gesetzt, denn sie war die erste Frau, die dieses Amt in Deutschland ausgeübt hat. Ich finde, sie hat eine guten Job gemacht, indem sie allen Staatsoberhäupter der Welt stets mit großer Diplomatie begegnete. Respekt und Dank für 16 Jahre ihres Lebens in denen sie unserem Land gedient hat und nun in den wohlverdienten Ruhestand geht!

On Watling Street, the old Roman road from London to the North, this 18th century milestone (recently restored) told the people sitting in the stage coach that it was another twenty or so minutes before reaching the next town, Dunstable with its Abbey church, pubs, hotels, its schools and its sugar factory and so on.
This gorgeous little male Scarlet Robin photographed at Woodlands Historic Park is my 10,000th upload on Flickr. I think that it is appropriate that I celebrate the milestone with him because birds are probably my biggest photographic passion, Woodlands is definitely my happy place and the various species of robins are probably my favourite birds there.
Really though what I want to celebrate is the many wonderful friendships I have made here, my life would be so different if I hadn’t joined Flickr six years ago, I appreciate every little interaction here and thank you all for your friendship and for the inspiration you provide me by sharing your photos with me.
Our town doesn't have any old signs. Not a one. El Dorado Hills is a relatively new town compared to the surrounding towns from the Gold Rush days. The original master plan for El Dorado Hills was designed by Victor Gruen in the early 1960's.
This sign in our Town Center caught me eye, though. Maybe because a milestone is usually a marker of a good thing. A measure of accomplishment, a place to remind you of the promises you made to yourself to do your best in something and to appreciate the special friendships you made along the way. It's both an ending and a beginning...

“Family Gathering by the Andaman Sea”
Sometimes you don’t need details, pixel perfection, or an HDR overkill. Sometimes a bit of backlight is enough – and suddenly they appear: Thailand’s most photogenic patchwork family of limestone giants, standing together in peaceful silhouette. No quarrels, no inheritance disputes – just quietly standing and keeping their secrets in the evening light.
„Familienaufstellung am Andamanensee“
Manchmal braucht es keine Details, keine Pixel-Perfektion, keinen HDR-Overkill. Manchmal reicht ein bisschen Gegenlicht – und plötzlich stehen sie da: Thailands wohl fotogenste Patchwork-Familie aus Kalkstein, vereint in trauter Silhouette. Keine Zankerei, kein Streit um Erbfolgen – nur friedliches Stehen und Schweigen im Abendlicht.
Danke für Eure Besuche, thanks for your visits…! :)

Yesterday was a great flickr day for me. Not only was it my 2nd flickr anniversary, but I reached my 200th explore and the views on my photos and photostream reached 195 000. A big day =)
Have a great day!
An 18th century (I would guess) milestone in Markyate, Hertfordshire. Its location is now the A5183, a fast road built in the 1950s. I am not sure, therefore, whether or not this stone is set in its original position. However, the new road follows the old road, Watling Street (the one the Romans had built). It is clear that the milestone must at least be near to its original position. Mitakon Speedmaster at F0.95.

It is no secret to those who know me, that I detested London when I was a youngster. It was tense, noisy, threatening, dirty and unwelcoming.
These days, it seems unrecognisable from the 1980s and early 90s. Whilst I cannot envisage ever wanting to live here, I thoroughly enjoy my visits back. I particularly enjoy looking for the many things I would have overlooked or ignored as a youngster. This milestone is just such a thing.
A real one (18th century), situated on Watling Street, one and a half miles south of Markyate, Hertfordshire. Watling Street follows exactly the ancient Roman road connecting London and the Midlands. Interestingly, the Roman road here clings on to a fossil bank of the River Ver, high above the stream, whereas the 'modern' road (the A5) sits right in the flood plane - so much for 'progress'. 27 miles to London and 6 and a half to Verulamium (later called St Albans). The horse-drawn stage coaches of the 18th century would make the trip to London in a day, the Roman soldiers on foot in two. But in an emergency, the Roman Army could be faster than that. They had the infrastructure!

(86/365) The candle signifies the first anniversary of my last birthday. I was allowed to eat half of the cupcake :(. At least the preceding dinner was good.
Twenty five minutes and a mile from where I was previously., the lighthouse looks so diminutive in the glow of the morning. Ominous rain clouds continue to move in but still dry.

It's been a while and I definitely had some fun with this one!

So I hit the half century mark last week and the folks at work were kind enough to decorate my work area. August 3, 2022.
Old milestone, taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "Units of Measure". Miles to London, Basingstoke and Hartford Bridge.

A very old road sign at the junction of Beckenham High Street and Bromley Road in SE London giving distances to London and local destinations - a third side also gives the distance to the Swan public house at Wickham. This was the New Cross turnpike road of 1718. Turnpikes were toll roads set up to address the urgent need for better roads from the early 18th century. From 1767, mileposts were compulsory on all turnpikes, to inform travellers of direction and distances and to help coaches keep to schedule.
